Welcome- Good to see another Cavalier on the board - now I won't feel so lonely By the way, great pic of your 49!
It's Suede clear coat mixed with primer. It looks great in the pics but up close it can drag ya down. The prework was rushed. And check this. I scraped the drivers side in a nice straight line from front fender to the rear. just before we took off to the Primer Natls. Well it's time to re-paint her. Im thinking this time. A blackcherry suede. How does that sound. comments much appreciated.

Nice car w/ no mistakes and a set of 57 Caddys. Man after my own heart!! Oh ..Wait a minute,My car is full of mistakes!
How can you loose with 57 Caddy caps, suede, wide whites and a drop job? It's perfect. Makes me wish I'd gone with those caps and tires instead of this......
I think the Black Cherry sounds good, I've always liked that color. That sucks about the scrape. Damn nice car to work with. Bill
